I've been a busy gal lately trying to get this group completed in time to have a fall sale...at my slow as molasses speed of working...fall will be over and winter will be upon us before I get everything finished.

Also in the works are some Halloween characters and more autumn themed pieces which I hope to complete soon. In the meantime you can preview these pieces..."Bittersweet Bunny Pincushion & Needle-Book", "Little Grey Mouse with Button's" and lastly my "Black Rose Bunny Pin-Keep."

This primitive style needle-book is a companion piece to my Bittersweet bunny...it has a cross stitched B & B monogram, a wool patch and an old pearl button.

Inside is a cream colored wool insert with pearl buttons, a couple of tapestry needles for your stitching needs and a sweet little reproduction antique needle-card tucked into the pocket.

It was a dark and scary night...OK that's a little corny...but it was dark...and I was scared cause I had just let Jasper out for a pee when I heard some branches cracking in the far corner of the yard...my heart started pounding and I dashed outside and grabbed Jasper and high tailed it back to the house...don't know what it was but it sounded big.

Fast forward to the next night...Dino lets Jasper out for a pee...Dino hears big crashing noises and then he sees little Jasper run to the noise while madly barking like he's some sort of hound from Hell...Our little jasper scares it away(((Holy Crap!)))

It was a beautiful afternoon so I decided to take little Jasper to the beach. For a change I kept him off his leash and let him lead the way...he lead us to some seaweed, to a small pile of old salmon bones, across a creek and up onto a sandbar.

I picked a wonderful old log to sit on and I watched Jasper do what dogs do best...smell things, dig up things and chew things...its the chewing of things that always seem to get Jasper in trouble...

Ahhh...what a lovely day...my dog, the sun, a nice breeze...then Little Jasper did a poopy(((Sorry)))a very strange poopy!

I was a small distance away and saw what looked like a bright orange carrot come popping out of you know where...(((sorry again)))

I thought to myself...what the h$#@!^$ is that...

O MA G A W D...its an orange...an orange earplug...

I looked at Jasper and he looked up at me(((What MOM???)))...I grabbed him, hugged him and thanked the stars that he was OK...then I laughed and laughed because I couldn't believe my eyes...it came out of him in perfect form...I could have cleaned it off and put it my ear(((sorry))

I have taken them out of his mouth before and I try to make sure that they are stored away in a safe place...but somehow I knew it was bound to happen...that he would get a hold of one and eat it...he is completely fascinated by these earplugs...needless to say we are very, very lucky and I am ever so thankful that our Jasper will be able to spend more blissful days playing on the beach.
